Housemarque refines Returnal with Saros, delivering a punishing sci-fi shooter that’s hard to put down.
While this sci-fi, rogue-like, bullet hell, third-person shooter has issues that keep it from being a classic, it still manages to be exciting and engaging.
Did you guys heard that ? 🦗🎶
It’s the sound of no one care about your corny political sad jokes
The first thing it says in this review is that the button mapping was a poor choice by the designers of the game. Apparently this reviewer didn’t look to see that you can change the button mapping like you can in many games.
Saros builds on its predecessor, but can it evolve the formula without losing the intensity that made it compelling?
Press Start: "Saros is an utterly sizzling romp through a sci-fi cosmic horror show that showcases Housemarque’s pedigree for spectacular, arcade action. Not only is Saros a user-friendly evolution of Returnal's core systems, which were already near-perfection, but it’s an exceptional, technical showpiece for a console that makes faultless performance seem magical. If Returnal was a reason to invest in next-gen, Saros pays that belief off again in what is currently a one-horse race for Game of the Year."
Yes, I’m aware 🤣. Used in jest of showing your muscles on a sunny day. No one thinks of a game when hearing that phrase.
However, when used in description of this game it fits perfectly, and thus, is clever.
@RupeeHoarder That's another phrase. The one I stated has a been around for nearly 25 years.
